150th Anniversary Event: College of Education presents speaker Jonathan Kozol |
| Description: |
|
The College of Education, along with Illinois State University is proud to host Jonathan Kozol, award-winning author on education and urban issues on November 14, 2007. Kozol will present "Letters to a Young Teacher" followed by a book signing. This event is part of Illinois State University's 150th Sesquicentennial Anniversary events. The event is free and open to the public.
Throughout his career, Kozol has combined teaching with activism. Working with black and Hispanic parents, he helped set up a storefront learning center that became a model for many others throughout the U.S. In 1980, the Cleveland Public Library asked him to design a literacy plan for the nation's large cities. His plan became the model for a major effort sparked by the State Library of California. The book that followed, Illiterate America was the center of a campaign to spur state, federal and private action on adult literacy.
